Greetings all members,
We had the privilege of attending our 3rd Jagd und Hund show in Dortmund Germany this year. Being our 3rd year we wanted to have a more modern looking stand and went with a black color scheme, the result of which we felt was fantastic! Right at the beginning of the show the Corona virus had just started making its appearance and nerves seemed to be on edge as it was such a new unknown possibility at that point. As a result attendance did seem to be slightly down however engagements were great with many people taking the time to stop and talk to you. Most prospective clients have generally been to Namibia 3 or 4 times and are looking for a new destination such as South Africa to hunt. This is a direct result of the rich German heritage in Namibia meaning less of a language barrier when they book with a Namibian company. Luckily for us Michael Sippel speaks fluent German and handles most of our European clients. It is true what they say about needing to be at a show for 3 years before youstart seeing fruits for your labor as we had a splendid show with a number of bookings for both 2020 and 2021. The number of African outfitters present was definitely up from 2019 and there were a larger number of outfitters present specifically from South Africa in relation to the year previous. We wish all who attended well and thank every person who took the time to speak to us and come and see us! We hope everyone had fantastic shows irrespective of where you were! May it be the best season yet!
Kind regards,
Dempsey Bayly & Michael Sippel
